Computer troubles

A computer issue just forced me to wipe out my entire PC with the recovery manager and start over. This really, really sucks, but I've accepted it. I'll have to reinstall everything now, and restore from my last back up, which was when I installed FreeTime. I'll lose Lysander and Hippolyta (I didn't package them, but I could probably recreate them fairly well), numerous other sim achievements, and a whole bunch of sim photos (I knew I should have moved them to my folders, but I was procrastinating). Yeah, including some really sweet shots of Frances that I wanted to use. That part stings the most, but I'll live.

Luckily, anything that I was using for the next chapter has been uploaded to photobucket already. Now, I just have to reinstall everything and try to figure out what I need to re-do. *sigh* These last couple of days have been very unlucky for me. This is just one of many problems I've had to deal with. I just hope my backups are good.

Oh, and I didn't back up my downloads folder. *cries* I really should have done that. Let the hunt for those obscure items begin...

ETA: The paranoid part of my brain thinks that SecurRom from the Spore Creature Creator might be to blame for this, but probably not. Either way, I won't be redownloading that, just to be safe.
